will horizon 2 have tv style replays
Good question. The replays in the original Horizon were very underwhelming as they only used a limited selection of camera angles, none of which were roadside. Of course, placing roadside cameras is even more tricky now we have all these fields to drive through 
All the same, I’d like to think PG have improved in this area but we can only wait and see.
That’s pretty tricky. How do you record a replay when drivers can go anywhere? They’d probably have to have camera coverage all over the area.
Randomly placed cameras in specific areas of the drivable map and around for where the camera is placed is what i expect, Maybe free-move camera all over the “drivable area” if we’re lucky and movie making is encouraged?

There better be a good replay camera. I like to create videos, and if the angles are anything like Forza 5, then I will be dissapointed.
I hope the replays are better than last time. I’m sure there could be some great replays with Southern Europe being the backdrop.
they shouldnt need cameras , cant they just record your last go , with a time limit maybe ?
I stand by Go-Pro option. Select one fixed point or more to record your races from, as if you had a Go-Pro on your car, the same way that a lot of racers attach Go-Pros to their cars.
This is an incredible idea, please PG/T10
Since the game is going to have such brilliant scenery to compliment the already brilliant looking Forza cars, I think replays are essential!
I don’t know how tricky it would be to code, but I can’t see why they can’t have TV style cameras that at least follow your own car, as well as being randomly generated along the side of the roads that follow the car using a panning camera as the car drives past the camera position!
Now since this game is going to have a lot of brilliant scenery, why doesn’t Turn 10 show off the great scenery by adding randomly generated helicopter camera views in a replay mode! For example, the helicopter’s camera which is mounted at the bottom of the helicopter, then the helicopter comes in for a low fly by towards the front of the car, and when the helicopter is approximately 20 metres from the vehicle it swoops up makes a sharp turn and follows the car from behind before making a low fly by using the same visual technique, but this time it approaches the car from behind and as it gets close to the car, again it swoops over the top of the car and the camera pans towards the back of the helicopter with a view of the car in the distance!
I understand it’s too late to feature this option since the game is about to be released world wide at the end of this month. However if this feature could be implemented down the track most of us car enthusiast would post some spectacular replays on social media sites!
What do you guys think!
EDIT: Why couldn’t they have fixed, external “TV” camera in the fixed-course race-events?
It makes no sense.
